The Sanus CAPT01-B1 MultiVolt Power Supply provides a convenient way to distribute power to low-voltage components in a rack-mounted system. Six 12V always-on outlets and three USB ports provide plenty of connectivity. And there's a front-panel USB charging port for your smartphone or camcorder.

But that's only half the story. The CAPT01 lets you expand your system with additional Sanus rack accessories. Connect an optional front-mounted task light and rear-mounted work light — and control them via the convenient front-panel switches. The CAPT01 comes with a thermostat kit to monitor rack temperature and provide a digital readout. If you have ventilation fans connected, the unit will automatically activate them when necessary.

Average Review:

The product is a great add on but mine doesn't shut off via the thermostat. I'm not sure if they will be able to replace mine because it may be a discontinued by Sanus item. I'm waiting for Crutchfield to advise me on the status.

Sanus CAPT01 Reviews

Sanus CAPT01

The product is a great add on but mine doesn't shut off via the thermostat. I'm not sure if they will be able to replace mine because it may be a discontinued by Sanus item. I'm waiting for Crutchfield to advise me on the status.

Pros:Add lighting and fans to your Sanus Cabinet and if working correctly shut off automatically by thermostat. Easy installation.

Cons:Mine arrived but it doesn't shut off automatically and I don't know if Crutchfield will be able to get a replacement.

From the thermostatic control perspective

This supply has an abundant array of of outlets, but I purchased it primarily for fan power and thermostatic control. It is certainly well built. It doesn't offer manual thermostatic control, or at least not as far as I can tell. There is no exterior control for temperature threshold. I'm not sure if there is an interior trim pot (which would be somewhat a hassle). It specifies the thermostat turns on at 85* and off at 70* which I can safely say is not an accurate claim, unless my unit, or the probe, is defective. With my Sanus 2115 cabinet, the overall interior ambient temperature will get well over 85* (cabinet completely closed with the probe centrally located). A lot depends on the magnetic probe placement, which in reality is the only way to find the "sweet spot" for acceptable ambient temperature control. A bit fiddly, but acceptable work around.

Pros:Plenty of outlets in various plug configurations. Well built.

Cons:No way to manually adjust temperature to activate fan units. Need to work with temp probe to achieve this, which changes depending on what equipment is running. Some equipment runs hotter than others.

DC Power Supply

This DC low-voltage power supply fits perfectly in Sanus component racks. It is thin, but has a large number of power outputs to support remote IR extenders, cooling fans, and amplified signal splitters. It also includes a thermostatic control for the cooling fan. It works very well. While I have not had in service very long, I am completely satisfied.

Pros:Lots of outlets; allows thermostatic control; slim profile

Cons:None

Features

Overview: The Sanus CAPT01 EcoSystem Multi-Volt Power Supply is a rack-mounted power supply for multiple
low-voltage accessory components. It occupies a single rack space (1U) in a
standard 19" rack. The CAPT01 supplies DC voltage for numerous fans, displays,
front and rear lights, and powers and/or charges several devices via USB. The
unit includes a thermostat kit which monitors the temperature inside the rack
and automatically activates the connected cooling fans. The CAPT01 comes with a
6' AC power cord with an IEC 3-pronged plug, and a cable management channel.

Thermostat Kit: The supplied thermostat is housed in a magnetic module
that can be attached virtually anywhere inside the rack. It has a 6' cable that
connects to the power supply via a 3.5mm miniplug. The
CATG01 Temperature Gauge can be connected into the system to display the
current ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature inside the rack
reaches 85° (+/- 6°), the thermostat sends a triggering signal to the CAPT01,
turning on the fans connected through any of the four DC outlets designated for
thermostat control. The thermostat will cycle off at 70° (+/- 6°). The module is
1.5" wide x 1.16" high x 1.14" deep.

Connections and Controls: The CAPT01 has the following connections and
controls:

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

I got this to power the cooling fan unit, an add-on to hopefully reduce ambient temperature during equipment operation.
[ Robert Oct 20, 2017 ]

Needed to run fans. Thermostatic control is a major plus!
[ Rich Mar 29, 2017 ]

This unit is a must if you are going to use the front and rear light systems. Plus it has usb ports for charging. Its a great touch to any rack system.
